Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success (Alma 26:27).

Pamplona and los San Fermines (Running of the bulls)!

Pamplona is a party! Hey everybody, it is Elder Sadler
again, coming to you from Pamplona. Things have been going really quickly this
week, well if you take out all the parties Pamplona has every night. But it is
good, we are finding some more people to teach and we have a lot of people who
are on the edge of being baptized, so I would like to ask for all of your help
to please pray that we may have a lot of baptisms for July! My companion and I
are doing it and we know it will happen! Your prayers will help us so much!

Nothing really big happened this week. My companion and I
are reading a talk Elder Lasater gave to the Madrid Mission in 1988, and he
sets some goals for them to accomplish. One goal that was in there was to find
one good person (with their number) every hour. On Saturday, we decided to ask
for faith and guidance to get three numbers in three hours. The first two hours
were rough, we didn´t get anybody. But in the last hour, we got four numbers of
people who are really interested!!! That is a miracle! We were so tired, but
happy, and knew that the Lord blessed us in our endeavors.

And now, I am in a really big ward. It is really weird to be
in such a big ward of 200 people from being in a tiny branch of just 50. It is
a little overwhelming, but I have made some good relationships with the members
already and I think we are going to do great work here!

Well, that is all for this week. I will be back next week,
when San Fermines (Running of the bulls) starts, the real party!!
